Hi guys, I received a private message from someone asking me if the prices with Mr. Troy at Greenfield Toyota are still the same (No price increase), so I went ahead and sent in an e-mail asking that. Mr. Troy got back to me and said that the prices for the extended warranties are still the...

What other fumes are we talking about? I thought the lead acid fumes were the worse. Are there other fumes in the motor cabin? Now i'm starting to wonder if the coolant for example actively releases fumes even though it is inside the pipe line. What about the cooling system? that refrigerant...

hi the battery has a vent for fumes on the left side I believe you can get a vent tube at pepboys and guide the tube so the fumes don't gather in the motor cabin

Hi Tony, Thank you I will be sure to get he deep cycle agm I should have listened earlier and picked it up so I could have avoided the fume sleeping fiasco. That was terrible and poisonous. I can't believe the fumes were pulled by the fan unit from the motor compartment. I think if the dealer...

Thanks I have the extended warranty too so if the lead acid battery change is covered by the warranty then it should cost me zero. I am thinking on taking the rav in and have them rel\place the lead acid then dropping by at pepboys and getting a Bosch Platinum Series AGM Battery Group, Size 24F...

Hi Guys, Well, I have bad news. Lately I noticed a rotten smell inside the rav4 ev's cabin. It was like mllk or rotten eggs. Unfortunately I had spilled some milk inside the rav4 ev a few weeks ago and I thought this was the culprit... but I was wrong. It turns out the lead acid battery was...

Hi, So with all the rain coming down in L.A. so often now I see an increasing number of large pools of water or rivers at intersections and other oh so convenient places. How safe is dunking the rav4 ev into these rivers and pools as we need to pass? Since the tesla battery is bolted on the...

You could also hook up a puresinewave inverter to the lead acid battery and hook up somethings while the rav4 ev is on. The dc to dc converter will top off the lead acid battery. I believe it gives no more than 1k watts. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=13097

Thanks that sounds very well evaluated. What are your thoughts of the added benefit in stretching out your extended warranty by going up with taller tires?

Yes we would have to put on some small tires to feel a difference. I'm not sure how the difference would feel but looking up a tire size to odometer calculator online I see the following: https://tiresize.com/speedometer-calibration/ Going From size 17 tires to size 15 tires will make the car...

Hi Miimura, Would it be safe to say that the regen applied varies depending on the speed the vehicle is traveling? In other words... the odometer reading? How else would the vehicle know when to apply so and so amount of regen in a 'safe' pre-programed way? This makes sense because when I am...

The city options I was given were: Friends or relatives in the Northeast (Massachusetts/New England/New York)? So I got a unit @ Brooklyn and now I have the Extended Warranty: 8 yr / 125K - $1505.00 + I forgot to mention there are 2 new longer term extended warranty options: 9 yr / 125K...

I haven't test drove one, but I plan to sometime in January. I don't really care about the extra range. I mainly care about size and the bolt just won't cut it. Much smaller than the RAV4 EV. The main thing I'd want is the CCS Combo but Jdemo is an option for the rav4 ev. I like the tesla power...

Hey Guys, Forgot to mention: When I got my got my 8 yr / 125K Toyota Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible for $1505.00 from Greenfield Toyota My contract already arrived about 2 months ago and I am fully covered. I believe it only cost me $10 bucks a month to get the unit. I live in...

$58 USD is not so bad. I thought it would be more like the nissan leaf's $230 for the Year 1/15000 miles. I believe one of the big bill checks for the rav4 ev is at 50k miles = full coolant flush for the traction battery? I will have to call my local toyotas and see what the maintenance price...

WOW, I just checked for the first time since I got the rav4 ev back in july the coolant levels under the hood. Motor coolant is just about at the LOW line. The traction battery coolant though is WAY below the LOW level line. In fact, it is actually a little past the lower body of the coolant...

Just had this issue. Woke up and drove off the rav4 ev no problem. Went to the store then after that went to cook something. Turned rav4 ev off. Cooked ate and organized things. Turned on rav4 ev and got the LO warning and I believe no bars on the battery range. When I woke up the rav4 ev was...

Big Thanks Tony I switched to using the incorporated reading in the speed panel (Where the odometer is) for the live energy draws during speed. This feels better than having to look at the big screen on the side and I have been adjusting my speed to match current best economy or aiming for...

Hi TOny, That is pure genius! I never thought about watching the Mi/KWH # and adjusting cruise control speed to be sure you can reach your destination! I'm going to have to safe keep your post and read it a couple of times so it sinks in well. I hit the update button then some weeks later I...

All right. Here is what I got so far. I did 5 trips of different length and it included going up and down hills. The energy info trip memory thing keeps saying an average of 2.2 mi/kwh, but I now started to record the numbers you get when you turn off the rav4 ev: First Trip: Mixed Hills trip...
